Only the Pentagon’s “Best Kept Secret” Can Stop China Now

All China needs do now is move in the warships and combat jets for all-out war to break out in Southeast Asia’s navigable rimland – the South China Sea.

We’re talking about a vast region that’s home to 1.5 billion people, host to rich fishing grounds, vast energy deposits, key military bases, 50% of the world’s tanker shipments, and five of the top 10 shipping ports on Earth.

In fact, about $5 trillion worth of trade passes through the waters each year.

Since 2013, China has been flexing its muscles in the 3.5 million square kilometers of underlying bedrock, islands, and ocean in the SCS, attempting to stake their claim on the zone.

There is just one problem.

Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Brunei all have competing claims.

And that’s what makes this highly-contested zone one of the most dangerous geopolitical hotspots in the world.

China is rapidly turning most of East Asia into a giant exclusionary zone.

Recently, China has advanced its claim by creating more artificial islands. In just two years, China has expanded these islands by 2,000 acres. It’s also outfitting them with harbors, airstrips and military barracks.

It’s even drilling for oil.

At the same time, the U.S., among others, refuse to accept China’s claims and continue to treat the islands and the water around them as international.

And that’s bringing them into direct contact with the Chinese military.

But the plot in this tinderbox-like situation just keeps getting thicker…

Conflict on the High Seas

Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping oversaw the largest naval parade in the country’s history as the nation concluded two days of military drills in the highly-contested zone.

More than 10,000 personnel are expected to have participated in the drills, which involved over 48 naval vessels and 76 fighter jets in a massive show of strength amid growing tensions with the U.S.

How did the U.S. respond?

By sending a pair of US B-52 bombers on a “routine training mission” directly over the Chinese government’s manmade military islands days later.

According to CNN, the pair of U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bombers’ training exercise was part of a program known as the ‘Continuous Bomber Presence’ in the region.

But according to the chief of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Admiral Philip S. Davidson, this show of force might not have had the punch it needs to strike fear in the heart of the SCS.

In a recent note to Congress, Davidson detailed that Beijing has built up enough military infrastructure in the South China Sea to completely control the disputed waterway.

“Once occupied, China will be able to extend its influence thousands of miles to the south and project power deep into Oceania,” Davison wrote. “In short, China is now capable of controlling the South China Sea in all scenarios short of war.”

And after looking at these disturbing satellite images, I know exactly what weapon they will use to wage it.

Sha Shou Jian

Disturbing satellite images prove the Chinese have developed a new superweapon called “sha shou jian.”

In English, this means “The Assassins Mace,” and its purpose is to annihilate U.S. Naval Forces in the Western Pacific.

In fact, this new superweapon is so deadly, it’s capable of killing thousands of Americans in a sneak attack that would be bigger than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined.

What makes this new superweapon so deadly is it can strike targets as far as 1,242 miles away at Mach 10.

That’s the equivalent of firing a missile from New York City and hitting a target in Miami in less than 12 minutes.

The Pentagon’s Checkmate Move

Over the next five years alone, the U.S. military will spend a mammoth $1.743 trillion to defeat China.

And behind the scenes, the Pentagon has been secretly placing big bets on a new generation of defense contractors. In fact, it’s been secretly funneling billions of dollars to the next generation of defense contractors.

These small firms have been working with DARPA, our top-secret weapons maker, hunting for a way to obliterate the “carrier killer” missile.

Instead of gunpowder, the Mach 7 Cannon works using electricity. On the order of 25 megawatts. All discharged in 10 milliseconds.

That’s enough power to accelerate a round to Mach 7 in less time than it takes you to blink.

In fact, its so fast, it can take out a target 100 miles way in a mere 67 seconds.

I know that sounds crazy… but it’s true.

Right now, the defense contractor behind this revolutionary technology is small and agile – 1/100th the size of the General Dynamics, the Lockheed Martins, the Boeings, and other huge players in this space.

So it’s completely off the radar, but as I’m about to show, that could change at any minute.

Because I believe this firm’s technology is on the verge of creating $45 billion in new wealth for American patriots who invest right now.
